About this coffee

Origin

In 2017, Puerto Rico lost nearly 80% of its coffee to hurricanes. But even before the natural disasters, the industry needed help. Nespresso's

REVIVING ORIGINS program joins independent farmers to replant the land and reclaim their future. It'll take years to restore the crop, but uerto Rican is worth the wait. After all, they once called this the coffee of royalty.

Roasting

The first - with the biggest amount of coffee - to a dark degree to develop dark cocoa notes and the second to a lighter degree.
